OUCC, Solar Advocates Want The State To Deny CenterPoint's Reimbursement Request Unable to load the audio player. playpausemuteunmute FILE: Samantha Horton/IPB News The Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) and six other groups want Indiana to deny CenterPoint Energy’s request to give people with solar panels fewer credits for energy they deliver to the grid. Right now, electric utilities subtract how much energy someone with solar panels uses from how much they produce for the grid over a whole month. Solar customers then get credits for any excess energy they deliver. Jason Stephenson — vice president of CenterPoint's regulatory legal group — said this would give new solar customers an unfairly high amount, basically forcing other customers without solar to subsidize their bills.
